CELLINK and Uppsala University Send 3D Printed Stem Cells to Space
..The startup has already managed to print human skin and is also working on producing liver tissues, as well as the beta cells that produce the insulin we need to survive. In 2013, mouse embryonic stem cells were transported to the ISS to investigate the impact of long-term space flight on human health. This, like many other projects, arose after previous studies found astronauts and animals returning from space have damage to their immune or reproductive systems, which might be caused by microgravity, radiation or even stress. It seems that sending stem cells to space could not only help mitigate some of these factors but also aid in the development of new drugs to combat them.
..Global Stem Cells Group (GSCG), a world leader in stem cell and regenerative medicine, announces it will represent CELLLINK 3D Bioprinting Technology in Latin America. CELLINK is the world’s first company biotech company to market bioinks for 3D bioprinting of human organs and tissue. http://www.stemcellsgroup.com/tag/3d-bioprinnting/
